Future

Ubisoft has made several statements about future installments. In 2012, Assassin's Creed III's creative Alex Hutchinson said that settings such as World War II, Feudal Japan and Egypt – popular requests among fans – were not likely to be featured, as they were considered "boring" and unoriginal for Assassin's Creed games.[2] However both WW2 and ancient Egypt have since been explored in the main game series.

Hutchison also said that they would refrain from creating trilogies for one single protagonist, like they did for Ezio Auditore.[3] Following Unity, Darby McDevitt spoke of the company's intention to bring more focus back onto the series' modern-day storyline for future titles.[4]
